I have 223 bottles but maybe 15 are clones.

Yo I'm not gonna front. CH prive is an awesome sweet spicy scent but it's more suitable for a night out. Girls absolutely love it but when it comes down to the actual smell, I find the original CH Men more beautiful and suitable for daytime use.

The original is much less spicy. It's more sugarcane sweet. One of my favorite designer scents in the world. It basically kicked off my whole collection journey.

Never seen or heard of it prior...sounds like my jam.

Also sounds like a fall/winter...at the least a night scent like you said

I concur, original CH Men > CH Men Prive. And I don't wear boots, but I got a big black tire for yo ass.

$27.90 + tax for 3ml shipped?

Yeah, nobody in their right mind gonna pay more for shipping than juice. However, if you buy 20mls at a time, like I do, his price (including shipping... same for every size) works out to be cheaper than buying the factory 18ml travel sprays from a retailer.

Gallagher is running a 15% off moving sale

I know someone here (Charles or Pap) likes this one a lot.

Must be Pap because I don't like rose fragrances. And that one has a strong metallic note that's off-putting.


Carpe Cafe and Wicked Good are his best fragrances (I have at least 25 different samples of his stuff), but I wouldn't put either in my top 50.

fuk I was just looking at that Amouage sample set. Kind of pricey for 2 ml samples.

A lot of houses have sample sets. Initio, Nishane, Ormond Jayne, HdP, PdM, Xerjoff, Zoologist, ELDO, etc. Check out Lucky Scent as well.

If you like the weathered/distressed look, take a peek at this brand. I found them at a local men's store in Saratoga the last time i was up. Both times i walked in and went "i have to have those." Which i rarely do with shoes/boots. Try them a half size larger since they are real chit. Felt a little snug to me at first even a half size up but have formed nicely. I can tell when i looked at the soles on the tall boots that they were going to last a while.

ya i do like the weathered/distressed moreso than formal sleek , had to look what boots i had .. tumbled higgins mills



ill have to check the brand out

[Papillo]

LMFAO an idiot on the Dua page has a collection of maybe every scent they have, including backups. The shelf has about 500 bottles.

A guy asked "so how do u decide which one to wear?"

My dude respond "well it really is stressful to pick one so usually I just wear one of my niche scents instead because they're more spaced out in their cabinet"

so this guy spent $30k just for a fragrance display.... Of poverty clones

LOL yea i saw that post.. Homeboy has more Dua than the owner of the company. Just insane!

@darkninja, thanks for the heads up on Rose all dae fam. Love dat chit

How the fuk did this turn into a boot thread??

Like i mentioned above, definitely be solid on your size. I *think* zappos carries them, so it may be worth it to take adv of their return policy. I usually am a 10.5 but also have slightly wider feet, so both of the above felt a little snug as a 10.5, but felt great as an 11.

He apparently does decanting so it's not that bad. But still.... It's bad. Lol. I'm already on the verge of an ocd meltdown trying to decide what scents to wear.

Yo @ninja u still store your bottles on the dresser like a peasant? If u have the cash to throw on random niche blind buys at least have a nice display for them.

If I went to a bookcase style set up I would need a dedicated room. Maybe get rid of my PC and set something up.

Gotcha. It's only in the past couple years I really realised how horrible my shoe game was but due to lockdown and not going out I lost the motivation to purchase until I recently finally got my boosts.

compliments pretty much every time I wear them too.
